Earlies - Lotte Kestner

Cakebrick road in summer 1981
1981年夏日的蛋糕砖路
We shared a house and garden
我们共享同一屋檐与花园
At the height of all the bombing on the run
在轰炸最猛烈时仓皇奔走
In busy hazy London
于繁忙迷离的伦敦
Through T-shirt breezes walking home from work
穿着T恤下班漫步晚风里
County Kilburn sun
基尔本郡的斜阳
Weekends we'd just wash away the dirt
周末我们洗净满身尘埃
Of busy hazy London
洗去伦敦的喧嚣与迷惘
The night grew cold
夜色渐凉
The Thames is old
泰晤士河苍茫
Found that manners count for nothing and it took
方知礼数皆虚妄
A Welshman in his forties
一位威尔士人不惑模样
Guinness elbows rest upon a tabletop
吉尼斯酒渍印在木桌上
The two of us on earlies
我们俩值过早班
Three feet of snow feel on the Walnut Road
胡桃路积了三尺雪霜
Two feet trudged
两行脚印向远方
Round the corner came
转角处传来
The sound of bad dreams
噩梦般的声响
The flame is old
火焰已苍老
The Thames is cold
泰晤士河水寒凉
Cakebrick Road in summer 1981
1981年夏日的蛋糕砖路
We left a house and garden
我们留下屋舍与花园
On the corner boys
街角少年们
Best of friends
曾是至交挚友
